The File

Edmiston

Charter, sales, management and new build · Eight offices. None in Greece.

The house that sits highest on average size — 57 metres and roughly €69 million asking, on its own 2025 figures — and the only one that has bought naming rights to a heliport.

A yacht anchored over pale sand, the shallows turning turquoise around it.

Commercial relationship

LivingTheta earns referral fees from brokers in this category where an introduction leads to a booking. That is a standing commercial interest in you chartering, and it is disclosed on every page of this site that touches the category. There is no agreement with Edmiston specifically, nothing has been received from it, and it has not paid for this page.

Edmiston was founded in 1996 by Nicholas Edmiston, who remains chairman, and has been run by Jamie Edmiston since 2014. Eight offices, charter, sales, management, new build and refit.

The size claim

Edmiston reports €2.96 billion across 43 transactions in 2025, at an average length of 57.06 metres and an average asking price approaching €69 million. Those are their figures, published by them, and they are the highest averages anyone on this list publishes.

They are also incompatible with what Burgess and Fraser each claim about themselves, and there is no independent market-share data for this segment to settle it. That problem is worth a page of its own.
